GitHub Pages and Cloudflare.
2 comments

Simple, free and effective. The traffic between those two is not encrypted however for a static page this should not matter at all.
GitHub Pages already have a CDN, so why add cloudflare?

And as mentioned in my post, Github doesn't let you have some kind of htaccess, so no 301 redirect are possible. And I need that feature.

Cloudflare allows you to perform redirects.

And cloudflare let's you add free SSL/https to your custom domain.

Github pages supports auto-redirect between www and apex domains (redirecting from whichever you make the primary approach from the other) does that cover your 301 needs or are you needing it more broadly than that?
